Priceline Hotel: 4* Vancouver Hyatt Regency

[halterca]

On Thursday March 17th I bid $50 on a 4* in Vancouver for the night of 6/9/05. Per this site it seemed like the losest price possible. It was rejected.

I noticed that someone posted a winning bid of $67 in the May time frame.

Today, 3/21/05 I placed a bid of $67. I was again rejected but was told if I bid an additional $17 I could bid again without changing anything but the price or waiting waiting 3 days.

Is this where I can put in 2/3 the suggested raise in price and win? Or do I have to bid the $17 price increase and the 2/3 relates to waiting the 72 hours?

I didn't know if I should just go with the price increase since I have some time or if prices are on the rise so I should just get what I can as soon as possible.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

You need to learn and understand re-bidding, which is explained in this thread: PRICELINE 72 HOUR RULE.

When bidding 4* in Vancouver, you have 3 such re-bid zones. You can use/add them to your Vancouver bid to get a better price than the $84 you are currently being offered.

Read the above link and see if you can figure out your three re-bid zones (if you can't identify them we'll walk you thru the process step-by-step)... once you have confirmed them with the board we'll outline a strategy for you to bid and win. :)

YEAH!!! I got it!

I think I read the 72 Hour thing before on your website. But I wasn't following it. I printed it out this time, as I do better when things are on paper for some reason. It made sense. I found three locations that did not have 4 stars. Delta, Langley, and Surrey. I tried Delta and $70 and it was accepted. I got the Hyatt Regency! From everything I have read that is a real winner!

Thank you for all your help. I will be using your website for all my priceline bidding from now on. I will be sure to spread the word about your great site also!

Thanks again,

Carrie

Glad to hear things workef out for you and you got the re-bidding process down... it will go a long way towards you getting the best deals on Priceline.

Thanks for sharing you successful bid with the board and for helping to spread the BetterBidding word. We've grown quite well in a short period of time, but many still do not yet know about us.
